Ginger Coconut Vegetable Soup

My little sister is not so little anymore. She's graduated from college, living in California with her boyfriend, going to graduate school...and cooking up a storm. I've always loved cooking for her, but now it sounds like she's become quite the chef herself. Last night she told me about a curried chicken soup she was making, and I immediately wanted to hop on a plane and go join her for dinner. Since that obviously wasn't possible, I did the next best thing and used her idea as inspiration for my own soup. What I came up with was a Ginger Coconut Vegetable Soup. It's not as hearty as hers, but rather a light appetizer soup.

I ended up getting niki to make a soup just like this for my cold. Onion, carrot, celery and sweet potatoes seasoned with ginger aand lavender. Add apple, mint and a squirt of honey. Serve with a cayenne top! My only problem was we left the lavender in, won't do that again! Cocunut would've been great, next time.

Hi Anon- No, curry powder does not generally contain gluten. You should always check the ingredients since each brand will use different ingredients in their curry powder. But I've never seen a brand that had gluten.
